ABSTRACT
Over the past three years, both the Command & General Staff College
and TRADOC Analysis Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, along with the
TRADOC Army Experiment/Transformation program office have sponsored
multiple training events using advanced simulations to drive staff training
events. The suite of equipment and software to drive these events is
known as the Digital Leaders Reaction Course (DLRC). The primary objective
of the DLRC is to train the battle staff to leverage the advances in
information warfare to win the next war. It provides an environment
for training leaders on how to visualize the battlespace and make tactical
decisions in a time constrained, digitized environment. The challenge
is to create this environment in the most cost effective means that
will drive the Staff Officer's senses such that they feel totally immersed
in the on-going battle, making illusion become reality. This paper will
describe this environment, focusing on the use of the High Level Architecture
and its importance in facilitating the rapid federation of multiple
software applications. The context of the paper is the TRADOC Army Transformation
initiative being conducted this fiscal year to develop the Interim Brigade
Combat Team (IBCT) Senior Leaders Training Course.
